<p><b>Syntax</b></p><blockquote>
<font color="#3A3966"><b>UseSHA2Fingerprint</b></font>()</blockquote>

</blockquote>
<b>Description</b><br><blockquote>

Register the SHA2 fingerprint plugin for future use. The standard 224-bit, 256-bit, 384-bit and 512-bit 
variants are supported. 

</blockquote><p><b>Parameters</b></p><blockquote>
None.

</blockquote><p><b>Return value</b></p><blockquote>
None.


</blockquote><p><b>Remarks</b></p><blockquote>

From <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2">Wikipedia</a>: SHA-2 includes significant changes from its predecessor, SHA-1. 
In 2005, an algorithm emerged for finding SHA-1 collisions in about 2000-times fewer steps than was previously thought possible. 
Although (as of 2015) no example of a SHA-1 collision has been published yet, the security margin left by SHA-1 is weaker than intended, 
and its use is therefore no longer recommended for applications that depend on collision resistance, such as digital signatures. 
Although SHA-2 bears some similarity to the SHA-1 algorithm, these attacks have not been successfully extended to SHA-2.
